✰ Iggy Azalea is releasing a new mixtape entitled "Trap Gold" in September/October 2012.

✰ There will be no actual release date, Iggy will announce it on Twitter and release immediately.

✰ The project will be available for free as it is a prelude to her debut album "The New Classic" that is going to be released late 2012/early 2013.

✰ She first announced "Trap Gold" on July 25 and has been constantly working in the studio since then.

✰ She's working with FKi's 1st Down, Diplo and D.R.U.G.S. and there might be only one feature.

✰ First time she's working with D.R.U.G.S. again since "Ignorant Art".

✰ "Trap Gold" will sample heavily like "Ignorant Art" and Iggy will also do more freestyle rap again.

✰ Experimental sound, not as mainstream as "Glory".

✰ "Electronic music mixed with Trap music".

✰ Rumored titles: "TrapGold", "Twerk Gold", "Love Trap", "1-800-BONE", "Sex Phone Operator", "Flexin & Finessin".

✰ Here's some tweets about "Trap Gold" (from oldest to newest):

Quote:

Me and 1st down are doing a project and we're calling it trap gold. youll love it.
It sounds like nothing ever. I can't leave the studio for the rest of the month now. Gotta make trap gold with 1st. The world depends on it.

Im the worst, all day long every interviewer asks about glory and im just like "yeahsrkghslgkhsgglhTRAPGOLD" i cant help it. its everything.
Glory is shiny and clean sounding. TrapGold is dirty sounding. like my world but darker and more awesome. gritty.

ive never said a date for trap gold. itll just come out one day, ill never give a date

ME + D.R.U.G.S + Diplo + 1stDown = TRAPGOLD.

wheres @aleherself when you need a pink ladies inspired jacket that says trapgold. im close to death.
cause trapgold is on some crazy experimental ****.

Where does The New Classic fit in with all of that? somewhere in the middle of trapgold and glory.
i cant get back to making the new classic until im done with trapgold.

TRAPGOLD wont really have any features. mayyyyyyybe 1. if any.
Im ready 4 GLORY 2 drop, for the azaleans 2 have something new 2 listen 2 & for everyone 2 then get ready for the new era we call #trapgold
I love glory, its a great ep. but #TrapGold is an era, its more than music - its a complete style. everything about it.

trapgolds a mixtape and will sample heavily like ignorant art did.
ill do more kinda freestyle rap for 10000 bars **** on trapgold!

I know TrapGold is for real, because im making jackets. lmao. and i never get jackets made

you get a month or two of glory before we start trapgold for real.

If you know anything, you'd know this means D.R.U.G.S are back! #trapgold http://t.co/PG1XeU3P
@TheTonyGrands no they didnt produce any tracks on glory but will produce half of the trapgold mixtape tracks RT Hey @IGGYAZALEA did D.R.U.G.S. produce any tracks on Glory?

Interviews & Articles:

For a newcomer, it's been a very public year: she released a free mixtape Ignorant Art last year, was the first female ever selected for XXL's Freshman class of 2012, has been criticized by Azealia Banks, and is potentially involved in a hush-hush romantic relationship with it-boy rapper A$AP Rocky. All of this piled on top of preparing the several-time delayed Glory EP, a trap-electronic project Trap Gold, and her debut album, The New Classic (likely out early next year.)

DX: Since you became popular you worked with a bunch of producers including Diplo and Steve Aoki. Did you find it necessary to link up with these two because of how EDM and Hip Hop are mixing and are you ever fearful of turning down a feature because of the way you may be portrayed?

Iggy Azalea: I didn’t link up with them in the way like, “Oh, I want to put myself into their space." Steve [Aoki] liked my music and hit me up on Twitter and said that he was shooting a music video in L.A. and it was the video with Kid Cudi and Travis Barker. He asked if I could come by because they wanted to meet me. I met Steve, Yelawolf and Travis Barker there. They are all really cool. I don’t know much about EDM music, but Steve is a really cool guy and he asked me to do a song with him. I was hesitant because people kind of **** on you a bit if you go that route. I said for him to play me a beat and he played me a beat and I was like, “Oh wow, that sounds ****in’ cool." If anything, it’s a challenge to write to it and a challenge is scary. This **** is hard and you just got to try to do it. After I recorded the song I sent it back to him in January and nothing really happened so I was like, “Oh, whatever." Then all of a sudden he put it out. I was nervous because I thought I would get a bad rap for it. I told him I wanted it to be him featuring me because if it was the other way around people would **** on me. I wanted to be in his world. In the end, it went really good and its one of my favorite records to perform.

Now with Diplo, he’s actually a good friend of mine and we have so many mutual friends that he hits me up all the time. He sends me beats constantly. We happened to do that record together because FKI, who is on the song with me, used to work with me all the time too. I have known FKI for years. They used to engineer for me in a little studio in Atlanta and we used to eat dollar tacos together because we were all so broke. Working with Diplo was a no-brainer. It was less to think about than working with Steve. Diplo and I are going to do more stuff. He is on the road now, but I want to work with him because I want to do a project called Trap Gold, which is like Electronic mixed with Trap music. It’s going to be very experimental and I want to get some **** from Diplo for that project. I have a date for Trap Gold, but I don’t want to tell anyone yet. I want to put it up on twitter one day and surprise everyone.

(...)

DX: Do you think you are truly making the music you want, or do you feel pressured that you are making the music that people expect of you?

Iggy Azalea: I definitely feel pressured to make music people expect me to. Some of the songs that have come out people have been saying that those were the songs T.I wanted me to make, and they weren’t. People hear a song I would do with Electronic music and be like, “Oh, this is Hip Hop, but it has some Electronic sample so that makes sense and it’s okay for her to do that," but on something that sounds completely Rap, "must be the Black guy that is making her do that." People say **** like that to me all the time. I honestly don’t think I am making the music I want to make yet because I am not done experimenting. Doing this Glory EP was a bit more mainstream and had some more structure. I wanted to do that to because I wanted to prove that I can make those records.

Now, I am going to make Trap Gold which is Electronic music mixed with Trap music and it’s not going to sound like any other ****. Hopefully my album The New Classic will be a mix of everything. I am really young - just turned 22, and I have not been making music for that long. There are a lot of things I have to go through and try before I have all of the ingredients and all the tools to make music I really want to make. I have a sound in my head and I don’t know how to get that yet. That is going to take practice and trial and error. I like to share my trials and errors with the rest of the world because sometimes the world loves your errors. Some songs you like and some you don’t. I will keep sharing the journey with everyone because you can’t have perfection in art.

"There will be no actual release date, Iggy will announce it on Twitter and release immediately."

I guess she learned something from Glory.

electroheart · , 11:52 AM

Stuff always gets delayed with her...

Iggy will also do more freestyle rap again.

No. I don't know why these girls keep thinking this is a good idea. They need to write and make quality verses. I hope she reconsiders this because she needs to step up her lyric game a lot from Glory if she's going fully urban.

This is the opposite of it. She said "Glory" was to prove to herself that she can write songs, songs that the whole world can relate to, a more mainstream/radio-friendly project. She actually really said in an interview "making songs for the radio or making that B.o.B. stuff", which turned out to be very hard for her, etc.

This is supposed to be super experimental and like the title says "trap". Doesn't make sense any other way. And I think it will work perfectly for her, it's what got people to notice and like her in the first place.

She's a new artist, still finding her own sound, the actual album will have a bit of everything.

Glory ****s. Can't wait for baby girl to ****!

Ainsworth · , 5:26 PM

I can't ****ing wait.

Right Direction · , 5:36 PM

If it is to be ANY better than Glory I'm definitely on the look out. She is still looking to top Ignorant Art I see, and only did Glory to make a few hoes happy.
